The copyright, together with all title and interest in the Canadian Parliamentary Companion, having been purchased from Mr. Henry J. Morgan, the new proprietor has endeavored to main- iiiin the character of the work in this, th(? first issue under his Editorial Management. He lias enlarged the form of the volume ; and, at the expense of much labour and no small pecun- iary outlay, endeavoured to add substantially to the general infor- mation hitherto supplied. Many changes have taken place since Parliament last met ; these liave been faithfully chronicled so far as possible, both from a Dominion and Provincial point of view. Tho Editor has further endeavoured to add to the acknowledged u'" ''ful- ness of the Companion by incorporating several new parts, including a synopsis of Speakers' Decisions since Confederation ; Cabinet Changes from 18G7 to 1877 ; Important Divisions in tho House of Commons from 1867 to 1876, together witli a carefully prepared Alphabetical Index, affording ready reference to any particular member of the Commons, Senate, or grade of the public service. The Editor would further impress upon gentlemen in the Legisla- tures and service of various Provinces, the importance of supplying reliable information when such is of public importance ; and has to acknowledge himself under many obligations to those who so readily responded to his applications during the past two months. The Companion is now considered a standard authority upon Canadian affairs, and it is the desire of the Editor not alone to maintain the already enviable reputation of the work, but if possible, to add each year to its importance as a book of reference. 5 Keij to ^bbtjeuiations.

PART III (Explanation of |parliamcnlari| ®erms and Adjournment. — See Interruption of the Sittings ot Parliament. Amendment. — See Order. Avoidance op a Decision. — When a motion has been made upon which the House is unwilling to come to a vote, there are cer- tain formal modes of avoiding a decision, amongst which are " passing of the orders of tlie day," or " moving the previous ques- tion." The former means that the House should — casting aside and taking no notice of the matter then before it — proceed to the other business appointed for that day ; the latter, that a vote be pre- viously taken as to the expediency of coming to any decision on the question raised. If "■ the previous question " be negatived as a matter of expediency, the motion to which it referred is only gotten rid of fur the time, whereas a direct negative io the motion itself would be a proscription of it for the remainder of the Session, as well as a denial of its principle. With respect to a Bill, moving that it " be read this day six months," or " this day three months," is a mode of throwing it out without coming to an express declara- tion against the principle of the measure. Bills (Private). — Private Bills are chiefly introduced to enable individuals or bodies corporate to undertake works of public Utility at their own risk, and chiefly for their own emolument and benefit ; but there are other private bills which frequently come before Par- liament, such as bills for adjustii g claims to property between individual claimants, and bills relating to divorce, naturalization, &c. , &c. The expenses of legislation in such matters must be paid by the parties seeking the relief; and a deposit of $200 must be made iramediatelj- after the second reading of the Bill. After the second reading, if all the rules of the House have been complied 39 ■M ■'Jm 1 y 1 1 40 i I f' \i with, Private Bills go to th.e Committee, and it is before this Com- mittee that proper attention must be given by the parties interested. Individuals or companies may appear by Parliamentary Agent*}. Bills (Public) . — A Bill is the draft or skeleton of a Statute. Any Bill which the Senate can originate may be introduced and laid on the table by an individual Senator without the previous permission of the House ; but in the Commons no bill can be brought in unless a motion for leave be previously agreed to. Permission having been granted, a Committee is appointed to pre- pare the Bill. It is then brought in and rcpd a first time, without amendment or debate, and a day is appointed for a second reading, previous to which it is printed, and a copy furnished to each mem- ber. The Bill, after the second reading, is referred to a Committee of the Whole House, at the sittings of which its details are con- sidered, as its principles were at each of Its several readings. Members are at liberty to discuss its principles at any of its stages, but no one is considered to have declared decisively in favor of its principles,unless by his vote he supports its second reading. In Committee the Bill is debated clause by clause, the blanks left for names, dates, nature and amount of penalties, etc.,^re filled up, and sometimes the Bill is entirely remodelled. The blanks, as they are called, which are usually filled up in italics, are agreed to without a question being put, unless a member should propose to alter them. The next proceeding is, that the Chairman of the Committee should make a report to the House of the changes that the Bill has undergone, which he does by presenting it to the Speaker in its altered form. The report of the Committee is agreed to without discussion, the Bill is ordered to be printed, and it is then read a third time, when any further amendments can be made. If a new clause be added, it is called a rider. The last question but one is that the " Bill do pass ; " after this nothing remains except to determine its title, which used to be a general one for all the acts passed in the session, but in modern times dis- tinct titles are used for each Statute. During the progress of a Bill, the House may di\\do on the following questions : — 1st, on the second reading ; 2nd, that it be committed ; 3rd, on the considera- tion of report of Committee in case of amendments; 4th, or that the Bill be recommitted ; 5th, that it be read a third time ; 6th, that it do pass ; 7th, the title of the Bill. These are quite exclu- sive of any division in Committee, or any amendments, or of any clauses added to or expunged from the measure ^ n or out of the Committee. Alterations arc not usually proposed in a Bill until 41 after its principle lias been disposed of on the second reading. Immediately after the passing of a Bill, it is taken by a member to the Bar of tlie Senate, desiring their concurrence, where it passe* through the same forms as in the Commons . If the Bill be rejected, no further proceedings ensue. When the Senate agree with the Commons in the principle of the measure, but differ on matters of detail, a conference usually follows between members deputed from each House, who generally succeed in adjusting the difference ; but if both Houses remain inflexible, the Bill is dropped. The same proceedings are adopted mutatis mutandis, when the Bill originates in the Upper House. The Bill having thus passed both Houses, remains with the Senate, except in the case of a Bill of Supply, which is sent back to the Commons, to be by them presented at the Bar of the Senate to the Representative of the Sovereign. The assent of the Crown is the final proceeding which converts a Bill into an Act of Parliament. [See *< Royal Assent."] Budget (The). — The Minister of Finance makes one general statement every year to the House of Commons, the object of which is to present a comprehensive view of the financial condition of the Dominion. Sometimes there are preliminary, or supplemental, or occasional speeches ; but the great general statement ot the year has, for a long time past, -jeen quaintly called " The Budget," from the French bougette, by a common figure of speech, putting the name of that which encloses, to signify the thing contained . The \nnual speech, known by that appelation embraces a review of .*ie income and expenditure of the past year, as compared with those of preceding years ; remarks upon the financial prospects of the country ; an exposition of the intended repeal, modifications, or imposition of taxes during the session ; and a detail of the public expenditure during the current period with its grounds of justification. Cabinet. — The Government of a State or community is under- stood to signify the exercise of supreme authority, and includes the executive, the legislative, and the judicial powers ; but in popu- lar acceptation it means only the first of these, the higher and more immediate functions of which are exercised by the Cabinet, a select body through whom, for the time being, the principal func- tions of royalty are discharged . It is only since the adoption of the system of Responsible Gov- ernment that any of the B.N. A. Provinces has had a Cabinet of Ministers. Before this took place, those who advised the Execu- tive, or Her Majesty's Representative, were called, as they were irt i ,?j 1*1 > 42 fact, Members of the Executive Council. They are here dignified by the same name as that by which they are acknowledged in the Parent State — they are called the Government, when the fact is that this word only applies to the three Estates which constitute the Government ; but we have come into the use of the term usually employed in England, and as such it will be best to use it. When speaking of the Supreme Government of the Dominion, the people understand the Members of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada in office. The Queen's Privy Council for Canada is at present composed of about forty members, but only thirteen of these are of the Cabinet. It usually includes all those who are bound to retire when a change of Ministry takes place. The Privy Council being more immediately responsible for tlie conduct of public affairs, their deliberations are always considered confidential and are kept secret. The htad of the Cabinet, who has been entrusted with its formation, is called " The Premier," but more properly " the head of Her Majesty's Canadian Government." The Cabinet, as it stands at present, comprises the following offices : — " The Minister of Justice and Attorney-General;" *' The Minister of Militia and Defence ; " " The Minister of Customs ; " " The Minis- ter of Finance ; " " The Minister of Public Works ; " " The Minister " The Minister of Public Works ; '' of Inland Revenue ; " " The Minister of the Interior ; " " The Minis- ter of Marine and Fisheries • " Council ; " Canada ; " "The Minister of Agriculture ; " General" , " The President of the Queen's Privy " The Postmaster-General ; " " The Secretary of State of " and " The Receiver- They usually resign when they have lost the confidence of the House of Commons, or they may be dismissed by Her Majesty's Representative, and either House can, by address to the Governor-General, ask for the dismissal of his Cabinet or advisers . The members of the Cabinet or Administration, are supposed to agree upon principles of policy and legislation, and are expected to co-operate in Parliament, upon aU matters and questions not speci- fically agreed upon as " open questions." The office of Premier may be held in conjunction with either of the principal departmer^s of State, though heretofore (before Confederation), it has been usually associated with the office of Att'jrney-General . Clbfk op the Crown in Chancery. — The Clerk of the Crown in Chancery is by right an officer of both Houses of Parliament. His duties are to take charge of all the Poll Books and Election Document; to issue Writs of Election, &c., attend with those at the table when so ordered by the House ; and at the closing of each session of Parliament, to read aloud the title of each several Bill, H I- « 43 gnified in the fact is istitutc term use it. on, the Qcil for is at f these >und to buncil public ial and trusted roperly iiubinet, -" The ster of Mlnis- linister Miuis- ^8 Privy State of eceiver- ifidence by Her to the Ivisers. osed to icted to t speci- Premier 'tmer*8 bs been before it rnceives the Royal assent by Her Majesty's Representative. We reproduce from Macqueen^s Appelate Jurisdiction of the House of Lords that portion which refers to the duties of this officer in England : — " The duties of the Clerk of the Crown do not now, as heretofore, require his constant attendance in the House of Lords. He assists when the Royal assent is given to Bills ; but has no concern with the business of the Appellate Jurisdiction. In an nncient manuscript, preserved in the office of the Clerk of the Crown, the following particulars are given respecting this ancient officer : — * The Clerk of the Crown sitteth in the Upper House of Parliament, by the Clerk of that Court upon the Woolsack, attend- ing there all the Pu'liament, and is sometimes sent on messages to the Lower House ; and on the last day of the Parliament he readeth the Acts, and the Clerk of the Parliament giveth the King's answer ; where it is to be noted that all the time of Parliament, he sitteth on the right hand of the Clerk of Parliament, and when he readeth the Acts, he standeth on his left hand, which is the higher place, being on the King's right hand.' " Clerk OF THB House of Commons. — "The Clerk of the Com- mons House of Parliament" holds an office of great trust and im- portance. He, with two assistants, sits at the upper end of the table. The Crown appoints him by commissisn under the great seal. It is his duty to make minutes, not of the arguments held in the House, but the decisions at which it arrives — in other wordSj to make a true and faithful record of all the proceedings in which it may be engaged ; to see that they are correctly printed and dis- tributed to the members ; to read aloud all such documents as the House may order to be read ; to perform the duty (without taking the chair), of president or moderator during the choice of a Speaker, putting a question and directing a division in the same manner that a Speaker would do. Committals. — In common with Courts of Law and Equity, the Houses of Parliament can punish all contempt of their authority, or disobedience of their mandates. Each House is armed with power to repress any aggression commuted upon its rights, or any interference with its privileges ; but in the case of the Commons, the operation u{ this power is limited to the session of Parliament, committals by that House being invalidated by a prorogation. Either House can delegate to a committee the power of sending for papers and records, and of enforcing the attendance of necessary witnesses . I li i\ f i ug i 11 fl ' * ! I- J 44 CoMMiTEKKS. — Are, first, those of the Whole House, which may be to consider (certain resolutions, as to the nature of which consid* erable latitude prevails ; or the House itself resolveis into such Committee, to consider the details of a bill, the principle of which Ljay be discussed at any or all rai/.i, <|c., setting fortli the redress ancl relief that is sought. Signatures to petitions must be original ; no agent should sign a petition to Parliament for any purpose. No chairman can sign for a public meeting, but the common seal of a corporation is received as the petition of the Avhole body. All peti- tions must be in respectful and temperate language ; they should not animadvert upon the conduct of the Parliament, the Courts of Justice, or constituted authorities. It is not proper to make refer- ence to any motion or subject under debate, or to a motion in the course of preparation. After presentation, all petitions imdergo a close inspection in the Clerk's Department, and when the time comes for receiving them, the Speaker oflfers such remarks as their raturc calls for. In England there is a Committee on Public Peti- tions, which takes this duty from the Speaker, and it appears to work well, for they frequently find it their duty to report the sub- stance, and frequently the exact words of a petition to the House, and not unfrequently recommend such action to be taken as the cass suggests. Previous Question. — See Avoidance of a Decision. Privileges op Parliament. — There are three kinds. Ist, The privileges which appertain to members individually. 2nd, Those which belong to the House in its collective capacity, ^rd. Those which belong to two Houses jointly . It is unnecessary that we should hero discuss the points of privilege which appertain to the two Imperial Houses conjointly on the subject of assuming the supreme power of the realm . Amongst the privileges which the Commons claim are : — The power of committing individuals to prison — the po^.er of publishing matters which, if not issuing from such high authority, might become the subject of proceedings in a Court of Law — the power of directing the Law Officers of the Crown to prosecute persons accused of offences against tho laws, or affecting the privileges of Parliament — and finally, of doing anything not directly contravening an existing Act of Parliament, which may be necessary for the vindication and protection of its own rights, in the exercise of its constitutional function^. Questions of privilege take prece- dence of all other proceedings, and are always in order. The • privileges claimed by individual members — are freedom of speech and person, including freedom from legal arrest and seizure under process from the Courts of Law- and Equity. This does not extend 51 of on igst to iiidictablo offenccfl, or to ftctual contempts of the Courts of Justice. Members of Parliament are exempt from all duticK, the performance of which might interfere with their prompt attendance to their Parliamentary callw, Privilege of Parliament, such as it is, continues for a convenient time after prorogation and dissolution. Prorogation. — Sec Interruption of the sittings of Parlaiment. Question. — Soo Order. Royal Assent. — The Act by which the Crown ngrecs to a Bill is called the lloyal Assent ; this assent is usually given at the end of a Session, unless there is urgent necessity for the Act becom- ing law without loss of time, in which case, the Governor-General, or the person administering the Government, comes down to the Upper House, and there, in the presence of both Houses, gives his assent. When this is done, either at the close of a Session or on a special occasion, the Governor-General being seated on the throne, the House of Commons is summoned to the bar of the Upper House ; being Miere, the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery reads the title of the iiill, hands it to the Chief Clerk, who says in both English and French : " In the name of Her Majesty the Queen, His Excellency the Governor-General sanctions this Bill." His Excellency specially manifests his assent to the Supply Bill. Bills ti) which the Royal Assnet is not given are pronounced to be reserved for the significatian of Her Majesty's pleasure there9n, and are mentioned in the " Official Gazette ■ as having been reserved for Her Majesty's consideration. Unless a reserve is made in the Act itself, so soon as the Royal assent is given, the Act becomes a Law, and can be proceeded on before any competent Court . In England sometimes the Royal assent is given by Commission, but in a Colony such an event has never taken place, although there can be no doubt that the Governor-General has power to appoint a Com- mission to give this Royal assent. Sergeant-at-Arms. — This officer, although in attendance on the House of Commons, is appointed by the Crown. It is his duty to obey the commands of the House, to apprehend and to take into custody all those who are committed for any otfence by the House . All the messengers and servants of the House, except the Clerks, .are under his orders. He has a seat at the Bar of the House, and directs all arrangements for the maintainance of order in the approaches thereto, and in the galleries. He is of course in imme- p ' *Si^.. Si; 52 (liato attendance upon the Speaker, from whom he takes all orders in connection with his duties. He is assisted b}' a Deputy. Session. — The Session is the term occupied hy Parliament from its commencement to its prorogation . An adjournment does not close a Session. Parliament is annually assembled for the despatch of business There are certain important Acts which arc; renewed every year, and without which the Government could not be carried on, which compels the Government to meet the Kepre- sentatives of the people, and render an account of the past years' transactions once a year at least. Unless this be done, there will be no supplies, liy an understanding, Parliament meets in the month of February, although circumstances sometimes arise to postpone the time. While the Crown has a right to summon Par- liament where ii pleases, it is generally understood that it assembles at the scat of Government. The House being assembled, the Governor-General commands the attendance of the members of the Lower House at the Bar of the Upper House, and delivc.s a Speech from the Thorne.' This Speech is the first subject taken into consideration ; no other business is commenceii until the answer to it is given. As is stated elsewhere, the mere fact of one or both Houses adjourning does not terminate the Session ; it can only terminate by being prorogued by the Grown. All bills and other measures left untinished, when the prorogation takes place, are dead, and parties who wish to revive them must recommence their labours at the next Session, as if nothing had been done in the l)reraiscs. The mere assembling of members does not constitute a vSession — one Bill, at least, must pass both Houses and receive the lloyal Assent, before it can be called a Session. Speaker.— Beyond all doubt this officer was designated Speaker, from the fact of being the spokesman or the Commons in their inter- course with the Crown. He is the presiding officer of the body . He reads all communications which come from the Cjueen's Eepre- .sentative to the Commons ; he has to present and read such ad- dresses and petitions as (ire carried up to the Governor-General by the Whole House, aud to deliver th(! usual speeches, on the part of the Commons, when presenting the Supply Bill, and other Bills calling for peculiar note and remark. Through him, all witnesses and prisoners at the Bar of the House are examined, and he directs all arrangements when the House is to be addressed by Counsel. It is his duty to deliver the reprimand of the House to any one who has incurred the penalty of receiving it ; it is also his duty to issue 53 warrants of committal or release for 'n*':ach of privilege ; to commu- nicate with any parties, when so instructed by the House. It is his duty to closely examine the provisions of private Bills, so as to pro- tect the public against any surprise, or undue encroachment or in- Jury ; to control and regulate the conduct of subordinate officers of the House ; to enforce the Rules of the House ; he cannot join in any debate unless in Committee of the Whole House. As the pre- siding officer of the House, he has all the duties attached to such an office. The Speaker is chosen by the members of Parliament, and holds his office until the Parliament in which he is elected is dis- solved. Should a member persevere in disobeying the order of tlio Speaker, and of the House, the Speaker may " name him," as the term applies, a course uniformly followed by the censure of the House. In extreme cases, the Speaker may order members or others into custody until the pleasure of the House be signified. On divi- sions, when the numbers happen to be ec^ual, he gives the casting vote, but he never otherwise votes. Supply. — All proceedings which relate to the public income or expenditure must originate with the Commons, and must be begun by resolution moved in Committee of Supply, which is always Com- mittee of the Whole House. In the course of the Session, estimates are submitted to a Committee of Supply, and resolutions moved thereon, granting to the Crown the sums requisite for the manage- ment of the various departments of the Government, and the sup- port of various public and private instituiions. Such as are confirmed by the Committee of Supply are reported to the House, where they are again re-conssdered, and adopted or rejected, as the case may be. Upon these a Bill is passed, and this Supply Bill furnishes autnority to the Government for disbursing the various sums appropriated. The Upper House may reject this or any other Money Bill, but they cannot alter or amend the substance of a Supply or Money Bill ; such a course would be regarded as an invasion of the privileges of tlie Lower House. Before any Bill can bo introduced authorizing the expenditure of any publio money, resolutions must be moved in Committee of Supply, agreed to there, reported and confirmed by the House. Three Months (This Day) See Avoidance of a Decision. Ways and Means. — As the Committee of Supply relates to tho expenditure of the country, so the functions and duties of a Committee of Ways and Means have reference to the funds by which h^ ¥ t 1 h .rr' It'' !' •si* Iff; t'li ■1 54 such expenditure is to be met. Loans, duties, taxes, excise and revenue of every description, are submitted to the Committee of Ways and Means . The propositions of Government on this subject are reduced to resolutions, submitted, considered and decided on, and such as are agreed to are reported to the House. Those whic'r may be adopted are embodied in a Bill or Bills, and in due course and form become the law of the land. As in supply the Upper House may reject these Bills, but cannot amend them , nor can the Upper House insert a pecuniarj'^ penalty in any Bill, ROUTINE.

'*iia '*^ mn PART IV. Jjjcahm' ieci5io««. SYNOPSIS OF THE PRINCirAL DECISIONS OF THE SPEAKERS OF THE HOUSE OP COMMON o ON POINTS OF ORDER AND PROCEDURE FROM 18G7 TO 1876. t Speaker — The Hon. James Cockburn. 1. Speaking Twice on Motion checked. — 20 March, 18G8. On motion for reference of Petition of Hon. J. C. Chapais, relative to Kamouraska eIe^-;tion, to the Standing Committee on Privileges and Elections, a debate ensued, in which Hon. G. E. Cartier drew a parallel between the Lotbiniere election in 1858 and the present case, and alluded incidentally to the Corrigau murder. Mr. Joly raised a point of order, that the murder of Corrigan had nothing to do with the point at issue. Objection ovfr-ruled, and debate proceeded. At its close The Speaker said : " That in order " to put a check upon such sharp retorts as they had been listening «'to, he would, in futuie, enforce a rigid observance of the rule for- *' bidding any member to speak more than once upon the same " motion . " — Debates, p. 130. 2. Trade — Bill on Banking. — 27 March., 1868. On motion for second reading of the Bill to enable Banks in any part of Canada to use notes of the Dominion instead of issuing notes of their own, the Hon. L. II. Ilolton contended, " that^, this being a Bill relating " to Trade, and also involving a pledge of the public credit, it ought " to have originated in committee of the "Whole Plouse ; and, that " step not having been taken prior to the" first reading, the Bill " cannot now be read a second time." After considerable discussion, Ruled : " I hold that the Bill does not involve an increased pledge "of the public credit, and, therefore, ought (see Rule 41, and May, " page 364) strictly to have originated in committee of the Whole " House. " But the Bill, having been read a first time, by leave of the " House, and subsequently having been moved into committee upon *' the resolutions, which were afterwards concurred in by the House, t' .7 (Si A " it is now too late to raise the oLjection . In none of the prccc- " dents quoted where Bills of this class were rejected on the 2nd or " 3rd readings had the Houae been in committee, — that proceeding "having been entirely omitted. Here the contrary appears ; and " we need not enquire at this stage whether the introduction of thu <' Bill, or the resolutions in committee, were the first step in point "of time. " I think the Hon. Member is not required to proceed de novo, " but may go on with his Bill." The ^11 was then read a second time. — Journal, />. IGl . 3, Trade — Billon Insurance. — 27 March, 18(i8. On motion for second reading of the Bill respecting Insurance Companies, requiring the deposit of a guarantee of $50,000 from fire, and $100,000 from Life Insurance Companies, to be made in Dominio' stock, the //o« . L. Jl. Ilolton objected tliat — "this Bill relates to " Trade, and should be based upon resolutions passed in committee " of the Whole House. That it is a Bill relating to Trade, and that, "from the terms of the 'British North America Act,' unless it " could be so treated, it is beyond the jurisdiction of this House, as " it is only under the head ' Relating to Trade and Commerce ' " that this House can deal with it, and that, if it does not como <' under that head, the jurisdiction falls to the Local Legislature." After much discussion, ruled : " 1 hold that the term ' Trade ' ''does not, in its general and popul:.r sense, apply to Insurance. " Trade means buying and selling, importing and exporting goods to "market, banking, railways, navigation and telegraphs ; all assist " trade, and are auxiliaries, but are not branches of trade in the " popular sense ; yet certainly the first, * Banking,' is more intimately "connected with- Trade than Insurance. I do not find that Bills " relating to these subjects must necessarily be considered in " committee of the whole ; sometimes it may have been done, buc "the practice is not uniform, and I see no rule which requires it. " 1 over-rule the point of order." The House then proceeded upon the Bill. The other question raised by Mr, Ilolton, viz: "That the regulation of Insurance " Companies is a subject properly within the jurisdiction of the " Provincial Legislatures," — being no point of order, but a question of law, was advisedly passed over by the Speaker. It was, however, decided by the House, on 20 May (see Journal, p. 426), adversely to Mr. Helton's objection. Journal, p.lGl . 4. Amendment Inconsistent with Motion. — 6 April, 1868. On motion, for an address for copies of certain papers, including copies of any instructions to Hon . Dr. Tapper, now on a mission to Eng- f f "'«„ H 58 land, J)r. Parker moved, in amendment, nn addition to the address, requesting the recall of Dr. Tiipper. iVy. J/orm objected, that the amendment was inconsistent with the main motion, and that both would be imintelligible if co-joinud. Objection over-ruled. Journal^ p. 185. 5. Complex Amendment to Motion into Committee of Supply. — G ^fay^ 1868. On motion to go into Committee of Supply, Hon. Mr. Jlolton moved, in amendment, that it is expedient to reduce the salary of the Governor-General, and salaries of all Government employes receiving more than $800 per annum, and to provide against salaried officers receiving emolument for special services . Hon . Mr. Dunkin objected to the amendment as being complex, and requiring sub-division in order to a regular vote thereon, while, being an amendment to go into Committee of Supply, it cannot, if so put, be divided, or an amendment upon it moved. Ruled: — "This motion, which contains three distinct propositions, on each " of which a separate question might be put (and which is therefore " a complex motion), is not, therefore, irregular, or out of order. " The House could, in general, according to precedent, order a com- " plicated motion to be divided. But that could only be done by " amending the motion, which cannot be done now, for but one '•amendment can be moved in going into Committee of Supply. " Therefore the motion must stand or fall as a whole. The diffi- " culty pointed out by the Hon. Member for Jirome is one which " does not aflfect the regularity of the motion, and that is all that I "have to deal with." Amendment put and negatived. Journal, p. 2G8. 6. Petitions for Money Refused. — The reception of various Petitions^ on the ground that they asked for grants of public money, or aid, and trere not recommended by the Croicn, was refused on the following occasions : 7 May, 1868, Journal , p. 297 ; Ist, 3rd, Ith, lOth March, 1870, Journal, pp 30, 32, 40, 56 ; 11 March, 7 and 23 April, 1870, .7o?/nirt/, pp. 59, 167, 233; 20 February and 3 3farch, 1871, Journal, pp. 18, 44, and on several other occasions, for which refer to Index of the Journals. (See also No. 50 hereof, relative to Petitions for Exemptions from Taxation. See also No. 12 hereof.) 7. Amendments — Greater Expenditure thon in Message — Unneces- sary Imtniction to Committee. — 16 May, 1868. On motion to receive report of Committee of the Whole on the Bill respecting Militia and Defence, Mr Pope moved, in amendment, to re-commit the Bill, to consider two resolutions ; the first declaring the inex- pediency and injustice of present large sums paid to Staff Officers, while Battalion and Company Officers are inadequately paid ; the 59 ;ers, the second providing that no money shall be paid to Stall' Officers until such time as all the officers of the Force are properly considered, &c . !" The Hon . A. 'i. Gait proposed, in amendment thereto, to refer the Bill back to Committee, for the purpose of so adjusting the Militia expenditure, that the officers " may receive such allowance "as will distiiiguish between their respective ranks and that of the "men." Hon. Mr. 7/oZ^o?», raising the question of order on Ifon. Galfs amendment, Ruled : — ** Not in order, inasmuch as its adop- "tion would involve the expenditure of a greater sum than that "recommended by His Excellency's Message." Jfon. Sir John '• Macdonald, raising the question of order on Mr Papers amend- ment. Ruled : — " Not in order, inasmuch as, if adopted, it would be " an instruction to the committee to consider certain resolutions " which could have been considered without any instruction from " the Hpuse •, and, moreover, that it involves an increase of the " Public Expenditure over that recommended by the message from " His Excellency the Governor-General." Journal, p. 300. 8. Petition for Canal Construction Received — 19 Aprily 18G0. On presentation of petition for construction of Ottawa Ship Canal, Mr. Alex. Mackenzie objected to its reception, on the ground that it infolved an expenditure of public money. Ruled: "That, " although the' prayer of the petition, if granted, might ultimately " involve the expenditure of public money, yet, as it related only " directly to public works, it might be received without any vlola- " tion of the rules." On recommendation of the Minister of Justice^ reception delayed till next sitting. When again presented, Mr. Mackenzie raised a similar objec- tion. A short debate ensuing, ruled : " The reception of this peti- " tion is objected to, because of the rule adopted last session, when, " for the first time, the English practice was introduced into this " Chamber [7 J/«y, 18G8, Journal, p. 297.] These are tike words " in which the decision of the Chair was then announced : — Though " there is no rule of this House expressly applicable to the question, " yet by rule 116, it is ordered that in unprovided cases, the rifles, " usages and forms of the English House of Commons are to be fol- " lowed. The practice in England has been clearly against the " reception of such petitions, and I find, by a Standing Order of the " House of Commons of the 20th March, 18GG, it is declared: — " ' That this House will receive no petition for any sum relating to " * Public Service, or proceed upon any motion for a grant or " ' charge upon the Public Revenue, whether payable out of the " ' Consolidated Fund, or out of moneys to be provided by Parlia- " ' ment, unless recommended from tne Crown.' That decision : m K-^%\ ■ % "■*" 1 fl 1 u Vr ■ i 'i^l 60 " having been given, the House agreed unanimously to adopt it as '« the rule to be followed in future. The present Petition does not, " in my opinion, come within that rule. It is very general in its " terms. It sets out a variety of facts with reference to the con- " struction of a work which would, no doubt, involve an expendi- '• ture of money, but it concludes with Jicso words :• — 'Therefore " ' your petitioners humbly request that Your Honorable House " » will take such measures as will cause the obstructions to this " ' navigation to be removed, and an uninterrupted line, to the full " ' capacity of the leading channel, and the supply of water from " ' the summit level, opened throughout.' Now, as I take it, this '' is not a petition asking for any grant, which wou?(l be a charge " on the public exchequer, and I do not think it would be my duty. " sitting in this chair, to interfere with the right of the people to " petition this House, unless there is a clear rule cf this House, " which would prevent the petition, beyond a doubt, from being " received. I cannot so apply the rule, for by express language it "does not cover this case. This is not a petition asking for " money. It is a petition asking simply for legislation, and were *' I to say that the petition came within that rule, I should be " opposing my authority against the rights of the public at large to ^' approach this House . If it is the pleasure of the House to •' exclude petitions of this class in future, the proper wr.y would be •* to adopt a substantive rule, which would clearly exclude such " petitions. I consider, therefore, that the petition must bo '' received." The petition was then received. Journal, p. 22. 9. Motion Over-ruled — Comwittee on Depreciated Silver . — 26 Ma)f, 1869. Mr. Dttfresne -moyed. that iha House go into Committee, on . Monday next, to consider a resolution, declaring the expediency of the purchase, by the Dominion of depreciated silver coins now in circulation, their export, and the substitution of Dominion notes. A debate ensued, when the Speaker ruled, his attention having been called to a point of order, that : — " The motion involved a " charge upon the public revenue, and should originate by message " from His Excellency." Motion withdraw^n. Ottawa Times Debates, p. 77. 10. Amendments Over-ruled — Newfoundland Public Lands.— 10 June, 1869. On motion of concurrence in resolutions, reported from Committee, on Union of Newfoundland with Canada, Mr. Blake moved an amendment, relative to Newfoundland Public Lands; negatived. Hon. Mr. TFooc/ moved an amendment, relative to the lands, and to financial arrangements ; Ruled : " Out of " order, inasmuch as it alters the manner in which the amount "1 61 :'i, !' ^ates, -10 rted Mr. blic ,tive of lint " rccommondod by His ExcuUency's message is to bo applied." Mr . Wood subsequently moved another amendment, relative to lands only ; Ruled : Out of order, the House having decided upon thi. 242. 13. Amendments Irrelcrant. — 30 March, 1870. On motion of 3L: Blake, for an address to the Queen, for Imperial Legislation, to debar the Canadian Parliament from disturbing the financial arrangements of Union between the Provinces, two amendments, objected to as irrelevant and vague, were huleu in order. — Joiirn-al, pp. 122-127. 14. C'anad(t School /Aindft — Remlution Irregular. — 4 April, 1870. On motion of Jfon. Mr. Wood, for the adoption of a resolution, detailing the proceedings oi the Government of the late Province of Canada respecting the Crown and School Lands, declaring that good faith towards the settlers required that Government to make certain provisions which it had failed to do, and that the objection to carry ' out the compact made with the settlers, devolves upon the Govern- ment of Canada under the 13. N. A. Act -.—Mr. Casault objevited that the resolution cannot be considered in the manner proposed, and should have originated in Committee of the Whole House . The Speaker uuled : That the objection was good, as the Resolution un- (luestionably involved a charge upon the public purse of the Domi- nion. With regard to a point raised by the member for Lamhton, as to the Dominion Government "having power to pay this money out ' 'ii 62 : ( v\ *''of tho Provincial Kubsidies, tlio very circumstance of this Huiiso " being the trustee, as \i wore, olthe Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, ** should nuike it all the more necessary that every proper constitu- " tional check should be interposed before any charge shonld be " incurred, which would eventually be imposed upon those Pro- '• vinces " H(5 moreover thought there should be a message from the Governor-General before such a motion could bo entertained, and therefore declared the motion out of order. — Tournal^ }>. 143, 15. Motion on Hop intcrosl — Abstract Principle — Resolution affect- ing Trade. — 4 April, 1870. On motion of concurrence in Report of Select Committee on Hop-growing and Salt interests, Hon. Mr. W '^i objected that adoption of motion would lead to imposition of duties. Objection over-ruled, as it does not follow conclusively that a tax or duty will be imposed ; the measures asked for are measures of relief, so far as the House is informed. Tho Hon. Sir (j. E. Cartier objected, that tho subject matter of the Report related to Trade, and should originate in Comnvittee of the Whole House . Ojection ovkr-ri;led as this rule, in express terms, is confined to Bills only ; and the Speaker thought the House might adopt a Report of this general character, which would leave it uncommitted as to specific measures. Journal, p. 147. 16. Instruction to a Coyi-.mission not appointed 4 April, 1870. Motion to give certain instructions to the Commission shortly to bo appointed to consider the question of Canals. Over-ruled, as the motion purports to give an instruction to a Commission which is not appointed. Motion withdrawn. Journal, p. 149. 17. Senate Bill 2>romding Expeuditure. — 5 April, 1870. Cn motion for 3rd reading of Bill from the Senate, amending the Act relating to Lighthouses . lion . Mr. llolton called attention to cer- tain clauses, which make dispositions respecting public expenditure. Objection over- ruled . " By referring to the autliorities, it appeared " that the Commons had accepted provisions in Bills from the " Lords creating charges not directly imposed by the Bill, but to bo " defrayed out of moneys to be provided by Parliament ; but that " exception having been taken to this practice, it did not appear to ''have been continued since 1860." The present Bill fell far short of the class of Bills alluded to. A clause in it provides that nothing in the Act shall authorize expenditure by the Minister, until previously sanctioned by Parliament No contract could therefore be entered into unless thus previously sanctioned. (Ex- tracts.) Bill passed. Journal, p. 155 . 18. Amendment not connected with Motion. — 21 April, 1870. Upon reading of Resolutions reported from Committee of Supply, to mc <«] "I Cn Act cer- Ituro. uvcd the to be that IT to ^hort that Ister, loulcl |(Ex- 570. 63 to defray cxpcuKos of cortaiu Dominion oflficos, Mr. Mackcnzii^ moved, "That this House regrets that the Government should ** have deemed it necessary to increase the saUiries of otticers in the " Public Service, &c." Mr. Masson (Soulatit/ea) then moved, "That " no Public Employees shall receive more than one salary," &c. This second motion was objected to, on the ground that tlic two motions had no connection with one another ; and the Speaker, concurring, over-kuled it. Mr. Mackenzie's motion was put and negatived. Journal, p. 212. 19. Amendment changing Ih-pendiiure recommended by Message. — 6 May, 1870. On motion for third reading of the Bill for Civil Ser- vice Superannuation. Mr. Godin moved an amendment as to the mode of administering the fund, and providing that no officer shall benefit unless he has contributed to the fund during five years, and that widows and orphans of employees shall benefit, &c., &c. Amendment objected to, Imp. Act, 30 Vic, C. 3, sec. 54, providing that the House of Commons shall not pass any vote, resolution, &c., fur an appropriation to any purpose not first recommended by mes- sage of the Governor General during the same session as the vote . Objection sustained, and amendment over-ruled. '^ This amendment " proposes a substantial change from the proposal recommended in " the message of 2nd May, inst.," &c. Journal, p. 303. 20. Trade — Bill on Insurance — Question already passed upon G tj- 11 May, 1870. On motion for second reading of Bill to limit the rate of interest, it was objected to, as it related to Trade, and should therefore have originated in Committee of the Whole. The Speaker, in a lengthy decision, and quoting precedents, ruled, that the term " Trade' docs not, in its general and popular sense, apply to insurance. "Banking, railways, navigation and telegraphs, all " assist Trade and are its auxiliaries, but are not branches of Trade in the popular sense, yet certainly the first, ' Banking,' is more in- " timately connected with Trade than Insurance . I do not find " that Bills relating to these subjects must necessarily be first con- " sidered in (Committee of the Whole ; sometimes it may have been done, but the practice is not uniform, and I see no rule which requires it." The Speaker therefore allowed the Bill to be proceeded Avith. {Mr. Mills then objected, and the Speaker concurred that the same question had substantially been already brought before the House and postponed for three months ; whereupon the order for its second reading was discharged.) Journal, pp. 313, 3l4, 348. 21. Motion Respecting Re-vote Re-comn Uted. — 10 May, 1870. The order of the day being read, for resuming debate on amend- ment proposed on 2 1st April, to concuirer t in resolution of Com- t i '1 : I I t 64 mittee, appropriating $1,. '{00,000 for settlemuut and Government of N. W. Territories (Re-vote), which amonchnent provided that no Dominion funds should be expended for regaining, h)' force of arms, possession of the Territory, &c. lion. Mr, Dunkin moved, amendment to amendment, to refer tlie resolution back to Committee on Supply, for reconsiileration with Message transmitting Supplementary Estimates for 1869-70, and with such estimates j)re8ently under reference to said Commit- tee. J/on. Mr. Jlolton objected, that as this was a re-vote of last year, and the Committee of Supply ha/». 339,340. 22. Modon (hrr-nt/rd /or A'llre.'tK on Prov. i>f Citudki Deht. — G Mujc/i, 1871. JJon. Mr. Jhrion moved that the House will, on Wednesday next, go into Committee, to consider certain reso- lutions, for an address to the Queen, for amendment of the IJ.N.A. Act, to assign the debt of the late Province of Canada entirely to the Dominion, &c. The Speaker^ concurring in an objection rais(!d by Ihm. f^ir O. K. C^ct rule of "Parliamentary practice that every abstract proposition w .l-3h, if " acted on, would increase the Public Debt of the country, should " be first considered in Committee ; but my opinion on the point "has been expressed on two or three occasions, and I shall so con- " tinue to decide unless the Ho»i.,o should think proper to express a " contrary opinion . This rule, liowever, being self-imposed, may "be enforced or relaxed as the House shall determine. But the " constitutional rule contained in the 54th Section of the Imperial " Act is one that, being absolutely binding, should be neither ex- " tended nor restrained by implication, but should at all times be " most guardedly considered by the House.'' This decision was ordered to be entered on the Journal. Mr. Holton^s amendment was negatived, and Sir G. Cartier's carried. Journal J pp. 62 and 72. 24. hill on Stamp Duties^ simply Declaratory. — 16 and 20 March, 1871. On second reading of Bill to remove doubts as to the liability to stamp duties ot Premium Notes, taken or held by Mutual Fire Insurance Companies, Hon. L H, Uolton objected that« — 5 'it 6G under Section Oi of B . N . A . Act, the Bill must first be recommended by Message from the Crown, and also that it should have originated in Committee of the Whole. Decision reserved, and debate adjourned. On March 20 the Speaker ruled: — 'The Bill is to remove "doubts; and decl.ares that certain notes shall be deemed to be " promissory notes within the meaning of the Act 31 Vic. Cap. 9, " and shall be subject to the duties thereby imposed, and it provides " that all such notes hen^tofore given and not stamped, shall bo *' made valid by a double stamp, " There being no appropriation of money proposed, there need " be no recommendation from the Crown ; and the objection rests on " the ground that, as it involves an additional charge on the people, " tr 0 Bill should have originated in Committee of the Whole, and '' should, moreover, have been proposed by a Minister. " It appears to me that the Bill is merely declaratory, and that " it involves no new charge except in so far as the double stamp " duty may effect that purpose. On looking carefully at the 31st " Vie. Cap. 9, I find by Section 7 that the Governor in Council may " declare thai any liind or class of instruments, as to which doubts " exist, shall be chargeable with any and what duty under the Act ; " and by Sections 10, 11, and 12, provisions are enacted to render " valid notes in tlie hands of innocen holders, and notes passed to " third parties. Tlie provision as to double stamps in the present " Bill is merely an extension of the former Act in its remedial " clauses to the class of notes here referred to, and which are now " declared to be within that Act. •' The Bill is one which, theiefore, in my opinion, may be " properly introduced and proceeded with by a private Member. " The question, generally, whether private members may in- " troduce and proceed upon measures relating to taxation, which " was discu8S(!s! in the course of the argument, is one of very grave " importance, and, though not needful to the dec'sion of the present " objections, I think it proper to say a few words upon it to the " House. Instances may undoubtedl ' be found in the Journals of " the English House of Commons, c*" Bills and Motions by private " Members to increase taxation, some of which have passed unchal- " lenged, whilst in other cases the indirect assent of a Minister has "been deemed sufficient. Recently, however, in 1869, a high " authority. Sir Thomas Erskine May^ stated before a Joint Commit- " tee of the two Houses of Parliament, that 'no private Member is " ' permitted to propose «n Imperial tax upon the people ; it must »' ' proceed from a Minister of the Crown, or be in some other form " 'declared to be ncccssar" for the public service.' 67 Ijc " I think the House may properly accept of this as the correct "construction of the rules regulating the introduction of similar "measures. The Motion or Bill should either bo introduced by a " Minister, or, if initiated by a private Member (a practice which " should not be encouraged), a Minister should assume the responsi- " bility of it by signifying the conj-nt of the Government to its " being entertained by the House . " If the House agrees with me as to the desirability of adopting " this constitutional restriction, it will become my duty to enforce " the observance of the rule hereafter." The Bill was then read and committed. — Journal, p.p. 9G, 112. 25. Amejidment Contrary to Previous Decisions. — 22 9 23 March, 1871. The House having considered in Committee of the Whole, a Bill to amend the Acts relating to duties of customs, Hon . Sir F. Hincks moved that the Bill be read a third time to-morrow. The Hon. L. II. Ilolton moved, in amendment, that the Bill be now re-committed to a Committee of the Whole House, for the purpose of so amending the same as to repeal the duties on coal, coke, wheat and flour. Hon. Mr. Elanchet moved an amendment to amendment, adding the words, "and also salt, peas and beans, etc." This was agreed to on division. Then Mr. Colby n.oved, in further amendment, to substitute for Mr. Holton's amendment, as now amended, a resolution that : " It is inexpedient during the present " Session of Parliament to make any alteration in the existing " duties on coal, coke, wheat, flour, salt, peas and beans, barley, rye, " oats, Indian corn, buckwheat, and all other grain, Indian meal, "oatmeal and flour or meal of any other grain," inserted instead " thereof ; Objection being taken by M.r. Ilollon^ as it proposes to strike out certain words which the House has already decided shall form part of the question ; Ruled : " The point of order is well taken. " It seems conclusively so by English authority, nd there is good " reason for it. The House has pronounced its decision upon th o " proposition that salt and other articles shall form part of the " question to be submitted to the House, and now the House is " asked to say that they shall be struck out of the question. " This would be a contradiction and is clearly out of order." — Journal, pp. 131, 132. 26 . Amendment Sahstantially Same as Original Motion, but Differ- ing in Details. — 23 ^'27 March, 1871. 3fr. Blake moved that the House do now resolve itself into a Committee, to consider the following resolutions : 1. Detailing the legislative action on which confederation was based. 2. Defining the provisions in the B.N. A. I If 5? I ;% « *'H»f« 68 ■ I I : •i Act for the admission of the N.W. Territories into the Union. 3, 4 & 5. Setting forth the measures already taken and proposed to be taken by the Imperial and Canadian Governments for the admission of said territories, and tli e erection of part of them into the Province of Manitoba. And 6th, "That in the opin-'on of this ** House, the sense of both houses of Ihc Parliament of Canada " should be taken as to, and should form the basis of such proposed " Legislation." The Hon Sir. G. E. Cartier moved, in amendment, six resolu- tions, the first five detailing Legislative and Governmental measures taken for establishing the Province of Manitoba, and 6th, " That " the provisions of the said draft ict meet the approval of this " House, and are in consonance with the will of this House, as " expressed in the most formal manner in the said Act relating to ** Manitoba." The Hon. A. A. Dorian moved, in amendment to the amend- ment, that, " Irrespective of the merits of the measures proposed " by the Government of Canada to be submitted to the Imperial " Parliament for the purpose of confirming certain Canadian Legis- " latioii depriving the Parliament of Canada of certain existing " powers, and altering the British North America Act, 1867, this " House would be waiiting in its duty if it did not express its « decided opinion that no such Imperial Legislation should be " asked for by the Government of Canada, except after the details " of such proposed Legislation ahall have been submitted to both " Houses of the Parliament of Canada for their judgment, and " addresses of such Houses to the Queen, praying for such Legisla- •' tion, shall have been passed." Mr, Harrison objected to this amendment, as being, in effect, the same as the original motion. Ruled : '' 1'he amendment is in *' order. It proposes to the House a resolution which is substantially <* the same as that involved in the original motion, but it omits " considerable matter of recital both of fact and law, and in that *« respect, I think, the proposition is one which the Honorable "Member may propose as an amendment. He may say very ** properly, as he does say, that he has no desire to commit the "House to the recitals which form a part of the original motion. ** I think the motion is therefore in order." Mr. Dorion^s amedment was then put and negatived, and that of Sir G. Carter carried, on division. — Journal, pp. 136, 145 27. Bill Over ruled— Question Already Parsed Upon. — 3 Aprils 1871 . A Bill respecting Insolvency having been passed and sent to Senate for concurrence, another Bill, introduced to repeal the 69 InBolvency Laws ,wa8 objected to, and over-ruled, on the ground that the House had already passed upon this question, and that no measure could be entertained at variance with the former one during the present Session. — Journal, p. 209. 28. Motion of Urgency — Without Notice — Id April, \%^\. On motion for a Select Committee, to enquire into a charge made in the House, that Mr. Delorme, member for Provencher, had been concerned in the rebellion in the Hudson's Bay Territories, and implicated in the murder of Thomas Scott, — it was objected that previous notice of motion was required. The Speaker, after citing May on the subject, said : — " That it rested with the discretion of the House as to whether notice of this motion should bo given or not. If the House believed that this was a case of such urgency that it should at once be entertained and disposed of, the House may say that the absence of notice should not bar progress in the matter, but on the other hand, the House may consider the matter of 80 grave a character as to require time for consideration . I think it rests with the House." After statements, and amendments, the House, on division, passed to the Order of the Day. — Journal, p. 249. 29. Correspondence Respecting Damages Claim, Referrei to a Com" mittee. — 10 April, 1871. Mr. Currier moved, that the Return to Address for copies of correspondence between the Department of Public Works and George Sterling respecting a claim for damages by the said Sterling^ be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. Speaker said, that his attention had already been called to this motion . He ruled : " That it does not appear to be objec- " tionable to refer a claim of this nature to a Select Committee. " Shoi d their report recommend a payment of money, this House " will refuse its concurrence, unless the recommendation from the " Crown is announced bj a Minister." Question put iind motion negatived. Journal, p. 25 i. 30. Reply to Speech from Throne not a Decision on Special Ques' tioM. — 11 April, 1871. On motion of Hon. Sir G. E. Gartier, to go into Committee, to consider a resolution, recommended by His Ex- cellency, that tlie Pacific Railway should be a private, and not a Government work, and should be aided by land grant and subsidy. Mr. Mackenzie objected that the House had, during present session, passed upon a motion in terms similar thereto [by negativing an amendment proposed by Sir A. T. Gait (Sherbrooke) to motion for Recond reading of Address respecting admission of British Colum- bia. Journal, 202.] Ruled : That if the two Resolutions which have been offered to the House — the Resolution of the Member for R % a M i ■- 1^ il J f il I ,1 V s' 70 Sherbrooke, and that of tlio Honorable Minister of Militia, were precisely the same, word for word, it would still be open to the Hon.se tC' consider the Motion of the Minister of Militia at this stage . The reason of that is this : — The Motion of the Honorable Member for Sherbrooke was offer cdj i>y way of amendment, as an alterrative proposition to the Ifouse . The House had its option to adopt either the Main Motion, which vas to read the Address a second time there and then, or to adopt the Motion of the Honorable Member for Sherbrooke, which was to postpone the reading of that Address to a future day, and to resolve certain things. The House, in negativing the motior of the Honorable Member for Sherbrooke, lias not passed upon the Hesolution contained in that Motion. It has simply chosen to say, "we will now read the Address a " second time, and we will not pass upon the llosolution, offered " by way of amendment, at the present time." I thirk we have only to consider the form used in the House of Commons in England in putting questions, to see what is the true effect of the vote on the Motion proposed by the Honorable Member for Sherbrooke. Had the Question been put as it would have been put in England, that all the words proposed to be omitted <' stand part of the Question, that is, that the Main Motion " should be voted upon yea Or nay." The House woul'l not appear to have passed upon the alternative proposition. But though we may vary our form of Question, our votes must have no different effect than if taken in the Jinglish House of Commons. Therefore, according to my view, if the two Motions had been, precisely the same, it w^ould have been still open to the House now, to consider and pass upon the Motion of the Honorable the Minister of Militia. But there are, I observe, important variances between the two Motions. I would particularly allude to the one referred to by the Honorable Member for Sherbrooke, that his ]\lotion proposed to pronounce an opinion upon the understanding tf the two contracting parties, apart from, and irrespective of the written evidence altogether ; this motion does not do that. With regaid to the former Motion, the House might well hesitate in com- ing to a decision upon a Question so difficult to decide upon ; whilst it may or may not hesitate about pronouncing upon its own future action, which is what is proposed by the present Motion. There- fore, for these reasons, I think the Motion is in order," The House went into Committee accordingly. Journal, p. 264. 31 . Motion for instructions already possessed by Committee. — 2 May, 1872 . On motion into Committee on Bill to repeal Insolvency Laws, a motion to instruct Committee to except Ontario from its 71 operation was over-ruled, as the Bill alTocted the Dominion, and the Committee liad already the power asked for. Journal, p. 18. 32.- Petition sent by Telegraph, refused. ~^3 May, 1872. A petition respecting Red River Claims, sent by telegraph from Manitoba, was presented by lion A. Mackenzie. Ruled : " This petition can- not be received, because there are no real signatures attached to it. 33 . Bill repealing Insolvency Laws need not originate in Com- mittee of Whole.— \*l May^ 1872. Third reading of Bill to repeal Insolvency Laws, objected to, the Bill not having originated in Committee of the Whole. Objection ovbr-bulbd, this Bill not im- posing burthens, but repealing them. More».>ver, it applies to traders, as individuals, net to Trade as a subject matter. Journal, p. 120. 34 Practical Amendttant to an Abstract Motion. — 27 May, 1872 . On resuming adjourned debate on motion of Mr. Joly, to go into Committee for consideration of a resolution, that the Superannua- tion Fund should be entirely devoted to the relief of officials and their families, Mr. Jackson moved, in amendment, that it is inex- pedient now to alter the Act, and that the subject should be con- sidered by a new Parliament. Amendment objected to as having no relation to the original motion, but ruled in order, Mr. Joly's motion, though merely an abstract opinion, being expressed against the present system, and Mr Jackson's being a practical proposition, which miglit ]>« adopted in lieu of the other, and pertinent to the subject of the main motion. The ; nendment was put and carried. — Journal, p. IGG. 35. Bill Regulating Bon^s — hoes not Compound Debts with Government. — \Qth April, 1873. On motion for second reading of Bill extending provisions of Grand Trunk Act, 18G2, so far as relates to certain preferential bonds, etc., lion. Mr. Cauchon objected that it should have been introduced in Committee of the Wnole, as its object was virtually to compound a debt due to the Govern- ment. Objection overruled: "'C mpounding' is strictly the "taking less than the thing that is duo. That is not asked in this "case." — Journal, T^. 164. 35. Second Amendment to Motion into Committee of Supply. — 2 May, 1873. On debates on amendment of motion to go into Committee of Supply, Hon.

Mr. Joly moved a second amendment, declaring the advisability of so amending the Election Law as to disfranchise the whole Civil Service . Second amend- ment OVER-RULED : Mr. Tapper^ s amendment, if adopted, obliterates •' the original motion, and no further amendment can be proposed "pending its consideration." Mr. Tiq^per^s amendment put and carried . — Journal^ p. 300 . 38. Bill from Senate ImpGwig Burdens. — 10 J/fly, 1873. On third reading of Bill from Senate, respecting Inspection of Steam- boats, Hon.

Sir J. A . Macdo7iald objected that motion was not in accordance with notice given, which read " shall be eligible to be elected a member of this House." Roled : — " The objection is well taken." Mr. Mackenzie altered his motion accordingly. Journal, p. 32G. 40 . Beading Papers in House Relating to Mailers be/ore Commit- tee.— 15 May, 1873. Hon. Mr. //tm«en^/on moved, upon information of important documents, in reference to Pacific Railway charges under investigation by Select Committee, being in the hands of a Trustee, under such circumstances, that there is great danger of their being placed btyond the reach of the Committee before 2nd July next, to which date Committee is adjourned ; that rhc Com- mittee assemble to-morrow, and summon the Trustee to produce the documents. The mover proceeding to read certain letters and documents, Hon. Sir J. A. Macdonald objected thereto. Ruled : — '* The question of Order, as I understand it, is this : — Whether a Member in making a motion is to be permitted to read certain let- ters and papers which, it is said, will support that motion, and which relate to a charge referied on a previous occasion to a Select Committee lor investigation . This is bringing into the House for discussion evidence that must come before that Committee in sup- port of the charge. J do think, and I appeal to both sides of the House, that upon the point of Order, us well as upon the strong justice of the case, I am bound to rule that the Honorable Member 1- I r 13 cannot read those papers." The motion was then put and carried. Journal, p. 349. 4 1 . Accusing Action of Crown as be ng " for a purpose . " — 3 -yrj7, 1874.

O. Harper. Objection being taken, that the subject is one which could only come under the cognizance of the Courts of J^aw, as pro- vided by Statute : Ruled: — "I cannot find any rule or precedent " to guide me in coming to a concj usion on this question . I think " it would be well for the House to consider this matter, and lay " down a rule with respect to similar Petitions in the future. I am " of opinion that it is an Election Petition. Looking over the late " English Journals, I cannot find any cases of Petitions of this nature " having been ruled out. After considering all the circumstances, "I think ihat the Petition ought not to be received" Journal, p. 82. 43. Trade — Bill on Banking. — 30 Ji>W/, 1874.

Mr. Thompson (Haldimand) olyected, that the motion involved ' •' •' :tl| I: ■!: "' 74 Public Expcnditiiro in recommending appointment of Com- raissioners. Objection oveu-rcled : — " The motion was an abstract "proi>osition such as could be regularly proposed by a Private' " Member. If it should pass, it would not necessarily bind the " House in any way." Question was again proposed, debated, and finally withdrawn. — Journal, p, 214. 45.

Committee Cannot Embody Reports of Previous Committees. — 20 May, 1874. Mr. Orton, having moved that the House doth concur in the Second Report of Select Committee upon the Agricultural Interests, Hon. Mr. Mackenzie objected that it is not competent for a Special Committee to embody in its report the opinions of a similar Committee appointed in a previous Session. Ruled : '* My attention has been directed to this subject, and I have " come to the conclusion that the motion is decidedly out of order, " It is laid down distinctly by May : ' A Committee re-appointed " • cannot report the evidence taken before the Committee in tho " ' previous Session.' This I find has been done in the Report now " before the House : < The Committee having carefully examined " * the result of the labors of a former Committee on the subject of " ' Agriculture, find that much valuable information had been " * obtained directly from the lUrmers and millers of the country, " ' &c . The substance of which information as obtained from a " ' draft Report of a former Comittee, the present Committee beg to '"embody in the Report which they now have the honor to sub- " mit ;' — consequently the Report, and the motion founded upon " it, are out of order." — Journal, p. 282. ,u ," 75 48.

The following statement of Mr. Blake's political views is summarized from his speeches as a private member: "An Independent Libera^ prepared to give a general support to the Govtirnment, so long us they fairly fulful their pledges, and show themselves fairly adequate to their great task ; believes that the bar.is of the franchise should be "widened, and that efficiency instead of influence should be the pass- port to the public service ; thinks political progress essential to political vitality, and advocates the fullest freedom of discussion on all topics affecting the public interests ; supports the adoption of a system of proportional representation, whereby, among other im- provements, the strength of the various opinions held by the people may be more nearly represented in Parliament ; considers that, as tho franchise is not merely a right, but a trust, the wilful neglect to vote should be followed by temporary disfranchisement ; is op- r I ■.' \ m t r I 120 posed to the appointment of Senators for life by the administration^ and desires their selection for a term of years by the Provinces^ thinking that the future of Canada depends very largely on the development of the great North-west, advocates the construction, as rapidly as the resources of the country will permit, of the sections of the Pacific Railway necessary for communication between that country and our interior seaboard, in conjuction with an extensive scheme of exploration and colonization ; believes that the cultiva- tion of a national spirit is requisite to the success of the Union ; that the present form of connection between England and Canada does not possess the element .of permanence ; that as the child grows into the man, so the State will come to maturity, and that (notwithstandinsf the enormous difficulties which surround the scheme), there is a possibility and hope of reorganizing ihe Empire on a federal basis, so as to reconcile British connection with British freedom.'' —Oor. of Metcalfe and Maria Sts . ^ Ottawa ; 84 Groavenor St., Toronto ; National Club ; Toronto Club ; Rideau Club .

Several important measures owe their existence to Mr. M., as a private member, viz — the Act amending the Assessment Act of U.C. (1863) ; that con- solidating and amending the acts relating to the Assessment of Property, U.C. (1866); and the highly useful measure for providing means of egress from Public Buildings (1866). As Chairman of Com- mittee on Municipal and Assessment laws (1866), wrote and framed the greater part of the General Act on Municipal Corporations, &c. All the measures of his Government, including the enactment of a stringent election law, with the trial of election petitions by judges, and vote by ballot ; the abolition of the real estate qualification of members ; the inspection of produce and weights and measures ; the better administration of Penetentiaries ; the enactment of the Marino Telegraph law, wnich virtually abolishes the monopoly of the Cable Company ; the establishment of a Dominion Military College, and the improvement of the militia system ; the enlargement of the Canals ; the permanent organization of the Civil Service; the establishment of a Supreme Court for the Dominion ; the reduction of postage to and from the U.S.; the free delivery of postal matter in cities and towns ; the opening of direct mail communication with the West Indies ; the con- struction of a transcontinental telegraph line; the better administra- tion of Government Railways ; an improved copyright law ; the adop- tion of a final route for the Pacific Railway; the opening of negotia- tions, conducted on our behalf by our own delegate in person, between Can. and the U.S. for the establishment of an equitable Reciprocity Treaty between the two countries ; a new insolvent law ; and the establishment of a territorial government for the great North- West, have all been more or less moulded and directed by him. In addition, two very important questions, which for some time agitated the public mind and threatened the gravest compli- cations— the Manitoba Amnesty and the New Brunswick school ques- tions—have been satisfactorily adjusted, during Mr. M.'s administra- tion, A Liberal ; and " has always held those political principles — 169 which by some in England may be considered peculiar— of the universal brotherhood of man, no matter in what ranlc of life he maj have taken his origin. Has believed, and now believes, in the extinc- tion of all class legislation, and of all legislation that tends to promote any body of men, or class of men, for the mere fact of their belonging to a body or class, to a higher position politically than any other class in the country. In our great colonies, while no fault is' found with the political organization of the Mother Country, or of any other country, we take our stand simply and completely on the ground that every man is equal in the eye of the law, and has the same oppor- tunity, by exercising the talents with which God has blessed him, of rising in the world, in the confidence of his fellow-citizens— one maa quite as much as another. Believes thoroughly in party government and that it is utterly impossible to conduct the G( . of a new country without it. Sees no reason to doubt that the polu v i ich has always been held by the Liberal party, and which the r '^ser Vdministratioa are endeavouring to carry out, is one that will u' imiiicly and at no distant day bring about that jjolitical peace w' ' > iil enable us to dis- cuss poltics in a respectable way without beinj'' Iol .'d to discuss Pacific Scandals and things of that sort, will bring in*o harmonious action all sections of the Dominion, enable every Cana' 7 :■} be proud to speak of himself as a Canadian, and will promote tho cultivation of a broad national spirit which must be cultivated if we are to become a great people on this continent. While an earnest advocate and upholder of the present connection with the Mother Country, he will always endeavour to maintain Canadian rights and to bring Canada into prominence in the eyes of the world." — 190, Wellington jS7., Ottawa; Sarnia, Otit ; liideaii Club.

He was of opinion that with more than two thousand miles of unsettled territory between the Upper Ottawa and British Columbia, we were not in a position to undertake the responsibilities of governing the country upon the Pacific coast. He held that rail- way construction, if needed in British Columbia, was a work to be undertaken by Imperial rather than by Canadian authority. He was opposed to pledging Canada to the construction of a continuous line of Railway to the Pacific, as wholly beyond the resources of this country. He denies that there ever can be a through traffic of Asiatic or European products over the road of any consequence, and that no engagement yet made with British Columbia looking to the comple- tion of the road can be fulfilled. He holds that since the Northern Pacific Railway has been built to the banks of the Red River of the North, that the Eastern terminus of the Canadian road ought to have been at Pembina. He holds that railway travel and traffic are not in any way affected by political boundaries, and that by utililizing the Northern Pacific we would have made it dependent upon the continu- ance of our trade over it to and from the North-West.
